Q. What are Values?
According to the dictionary,
values are “things that have an intrinsic worth in usefulness or
importance to the possessor,” or “principles, standards, or qualities considered worthwhile or
desirable.”
However, it is important to note that, although we may tend to think of a value as something good, virtually all values are morally relative – neutral, really – until they are qualified by asking, “How is it good?” or “Good to whom?” The “good” can sometimes be just a matter of opinion or taste, or driven by culture, religion, habit, circumstance, or environment, etc.
Again, almost all values are relative. The exception, of course, is the value of life. Life is a universal, objective value. We might take this point for granted, but we all have the life value, or we would not be alive. Life is also a dual value – we value our own life and the lives of others.
Q. What are Morals?
Moral values are relative values that protect life and are respectful of the dual life value of self and others. The great moral values, such as truth, freedom, charity, etc., have one thing in common. When they are functioning correctly, they are life protecting or life enhancing for all. But they are still relative values.
Our relative moral values must be constantly examined to make sure that they are always performing their life-protecting mission. Even the Marine Corps core values of “honor, courage and commitment” require examination in this context.
Q. What is Ethics?
A person who knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses right is moral. A person whose morality is reflected in his willingness to do the right thing – even if it is hard or dangerous – is ethical. Ethics are moral values in action.
Being ethical id an imperative because morality protects life and is respectful of others – all others. It is a lifestyle that is consistent with mankind’s universal values as articulated by the American Founding Fathers – human equality and the inalienable right to life.
As warriors it is our duty to be protectors and defenders of the life value and to perform the unique and difficult mission of taking the lives of those acting immorally (against life) when necessary to protect the lives of innocent others.
Human Value: A human value is defined by our religious Leaders, Gurus and Saviors' teachings and practices, need and judgment of fulfilling individuals need in the society. Human values can be assured of a happy and harmonious human society. We cultivate and inculcate these values among the student and the staff through teaching, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We as an academic institution believed that along with knowledge, wisdom is essential for sound growth of the society. In this regards, inculcation of human values among the budding citizens of the nation is very important.
Hence, we are very much concerned to observe the following human values
1. Right conduct 2. Peace 3. Truth 4. Love 5. Co-operation 6. Honesty 7. Trust 8. Non-violence 9. Wisdom
1. Right Conduct: a) Self- Help Skills: Care of possessions, diet, hygiene, modesty, posture, self reliance, and tidy appearance.
b) Social Skills: Good behavior, good manners, good relationships, helpfulness, no wastage and good environment.
c) Ethical Skills: Good conduct, courage, dependability, duty, efficiency, ingenuity, initiative, perseverance, punctuality, resourcefulness, respect for all, and sense of responsibility.
2. Peace: Attention, calmness, concentration, contentment, dignity, discipline, equality, equanimity, faithfulness, gratitude, happiness, harmony, humility, inner silence, optimism, patience, reflection, satisfaction, acceptance, control, self-esteem, tolerance, and understanding.
3. Truth: Accuracy, curiosity, fairness, fearlessness, honesty, integrity, intuition, justice, optimism, purity, quest for knowledge, reason, self-analysis, sincerity, synthesis, truthfulness, and determination.
4. Love: "Nothing is impossible for pure Love” says Mahatma Gandhiji. It has immense value. Acceptance, affection, care, compassion, consideration, dedication, devotion, forgiveness, friendship, generosity, gentleness, interdependence, kindness, patience, patriotism, reverence, sacrifice, selflessness, service, sharing, sympathy, tolerance and trust are the segments of love. 5. Co-operation: “Non-cooperation with evil is much a duty as is a cooperation with good” says Mahatma Gandhiji. Co-operation is the process of working together to the same end. It is undeniably are of the most vital assets one can have when working through a problem. Having the opinion and voice of another person will not only draw out a discussion of the topic, but also lead to a well rounded solution. Co-operation has been in its high importance and held high in regard. 6. Honesty: Today, the power of Gandhi's words still inspires us to change the world by changing ourselves. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Honesty in the realm of human values is extremely important. The idea of staying true to oneself can often feel intimidating and impossible, but what most people felt to realize is that it is not the act of simply telling the truth that makes someone honest rather the quality of person who is being honest. An honest man is often straight forward, upright, sincere and fair.
7. Trust: Trust can be interpreted in many ways. But ultimately it comes down to reliability and truth. Without trust, the world simply would not function. We create documents, money and bullet proof glass because we have lost faith which is why the most important human values. Learn to trust and be trusted, is not an easy task, but it’s important is beyond measure. In short, one cannot serve in a world without trust.
8. Non -Violence a) Psychological: Benevolence, compassion, concern for others, consideration, forgiveness, morality, loyalty and happiness. b) Social: Appreciation of other cultures and religions, brotherhood, care of environment, citizenship, equality, harmlessness, national awareness, perseverance, respect for property, and social justice.
9. Wisdom: Wisdom is the most important human value in many ways. Its value is very important while living the lives. Wisdom is often confused with the words like knowledge and intelligence. But wisdom is defined as the quality of having experience and good judgment. Wisdom becomes necessary when society gets cramp with knowledge. In the explosion of knowledge based society, wisdom becomes the necessity.
